Scott stops in Inverness

AMANDA MIMS
Chronicle

Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott
drew applause while speaking to a crowd of about 60
people in downtown Inverness Friday.
Scott, 57, spent roughly 30 minutes at Coach's Pub
and Eatery on a campaign stop between Miami and
Dade City talking about the

/Page A3 employment rate and said the
state needs private sector jobs.
"What we're doing clearly isn't
working. We have to change the direction of this state.
We have to start electing people that know how to
build jobs," he said. "We have got to change because
it's our fault if we're not number one in job creation."
Scott, a billionaire with humble beginnings, said he

E earlier this week, Joyce and
Clyde Warren went to a base-
ball game and a senior prom
broke out.
At least that's how they
saw it as the couple made their way
through the stadium at the Tampa Bay
Rays game Wednesday at Tropicana
Field.
"We didn't know it was prom day; we
didn't know there would be dancing,"
Mrs. Warren said. "We just came for
the game."
The Warrens went to the game as
part of a group that left from the Citrus
County Resource Center in Lecanto,
one of a series of bus trips and outings
planned by the Citrus County Senior
Foundation.
Wednesday was Senior Prom for
Senior Citizens Day, hosted by the
Rays.

man who fre-
quented the USO dances on the Air
Force base in Columbus, Ohio, the
same dances where Joyce and her girl-
friends used to hang out.
"My friends and I would meet at the
Y and catch the bus to the base, and
after the dance the bus would bring us
back," Mrs. Warren said.
In between, the girls had the chance
to mingle and meet dozens of airmen.
"Back then, you couldn't dance close
and you had to wear a straight slip
under your crinolines," she said. "I
was 18 and we got married when I was
19."
As the Warrens searched for their
seats in section 220, like a siren's call,
the music from oldies band Ron and
the Classics playing "You're 16 (You're
Beautiful and You're Mine)" lured the
couple onto the dance floor next to the
Grand Slam Grill concessions stand.
When they lived at The Villages they
danced nearly every night at the town
square.
"We love to dance!" Mrs. Warren
said.
They like doing the jitterbug the
best.
As the music played and other cou-
ples joined the Warrens on the dance
floor, stadium ushers wearing tuxedo
T-shirts helped seniors in shorts and
sneakers, sequins, sports jackets,
feather boas and flashing tiaras, those
with walkers, oxygen tanks and canes.
One senior gentleman sported a
blue-tinted Mohawk hairstyle, another
wore a cream-colored sports jacket
with his black cotton shorts and san-
dals.

Lucy Billen Sarah Chadwi
'SHORT-LIVED MEMORY' OLDEST ATTENDEE

"It was 1956 in Lin-
denhurst, Long Island,
N.Y., and I went to the
junior prom wearing
the worst color for me,
a yellow dress," said
the spiky-haired red-
head from Crystal
River.
Not only that, because
she was taller than her
date, she couldn't wear
high heels like all the
other girls.
"I had to wear a flat
sandal-type shoe," she
said.
She remembered she
and her date practicing
their dance steps in her
basement during the
days leading up to the
prom.
"Soon after, he decided
he didn't want to be my
boyfriend," she said.
"It was a short-lived
memory."

Although she didn't re-
veal her age, it's safe
to say that Sarah Chad-
wick, of Hernando, was
the oldest attendee at
the 2005 Citrus High
School prom.
The former ESE teacher's
aide at the school went
with her husband, Phil,
as chaperones.
Decades earlier she
had gone to the junior
and senior proms at
her high school in
Burlington, Colo.
"At those proms, I did-
n't have a date," she
said. "Three of us girls
who were real close
went together."
By her senior year she
was dating her now-
husband, but he was too
old to attend the prom.
"You couldn't be over
18," she said.

Richard Davis
'THE ONE THAT
GOT AWAY'
She was beautiful, re-
called Richard C. Davis,
of Dunnellon. Her name
was Delores Williams,
with dark brown hair,
and she had agreed to
go to the Lansdale High
School prom with him
in Lansdale, Pa.
Her dress was probably
blue, or maybe red, he
said.
"I did get her a flower,
that I know," he said. "I
think it was one of
those orchids."
He remembers step-
ping all over her feet.
"But I can dance up a
storm now," he said.
"I'm 80."
He said every time he
goes back to Lansdale,
Pa., for a reunion, he
sees Delores.
"She's a real nice
lady," he said.

Bobby Norris Robbie Norris
FIRST MARRIED STUDENT
On Nov. 1, 1959, Inverness residents Robbie
and Bobby Norris married. Soon after, Bobby,
who had joined the Air Force, shipped off to Eng-
land, while Robbie, a senior in high school in
Ninety-Six, S.C., finished school.
"I was the first married woman to go to our school
as a student," Mrs. Norris said.
Because she was married, the superintendent of
schools didn't want her to attend the prom, but she
planned to go anyway, with her father as her escort.
The day of the prom, one of her best friends,
Henry Milam, called to say that his date, Sally,
had the measles and asked if she would go with
him to the prom.
She agreed, but before they got to the prom they
first stopped at Sally's house to give her the cor-
sage Henry had bought for her.
Mrs. Norris wore a pale pink strapless, tea-length
dress and Henry and Sally ended up getting married.
"I had a wonderful prom," she said.
"Ironically, Sally's father was the superintendent
of schools that didn't want Robbie to go to the
prom," Bobby Norris said.
"My husband loves that story," Mrs. Norris said.
Recently, Mrs. Norris returned to Ninety-Six for
her 50th high school reunion and was voted
"least aged."

Vern Rose
PARTY ON A BOAT
Forget about what peo-
ple wore the night of
Vern Rose's senior
prom. The highlight of
his prom was where it
was held, on an all-
night party boat that
cruised the Ohio River.
The Homosassa resi-
dent, originally from
Cincinnati, said he got
lucky his senior year.
"I graduated with the
son of the owner of a lot
of party boats on the
Ohio River," he said.
"We had an all-night
cruise, we danced all
night long, had eats all
night long. I remember
getting home at day-
break. It was one great
evening."

Getting a jump on it

MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Voters across Citrus County have been utilizing the early voting polling precincts. This woman walks into the
Central Ridge Library, one of the early voting sites.

Republicans flock to early voting sites to cast ballots

MIKE WRIGHT
Chronicle

Twice as many Republicans are
likely to vote in the primary than
Democrats if results from early vot-
ing are any indication of total voter
turnout.
And Supervisor of Elections
Susan Gill said they usually are.
With early voting ending Satur-
day before Tuesday's primary,
nearly 13,000 people have voted ei-
ther at early voting sites or absen-
tee about 13 percent of the
registered voters in Citrus County.
Figures available Friday showed
that, as of end of day Thursday,
5,126 people cast ballots at early
voting sites.
Gill said that historically, early
voting accounts for about half of the
total voter turnout for the primary
Total voter turnout for the 2006
and 2008 primaries were about 23
percent.
Republicans account for 62 per-
cent of the early voters; Democrats,
31 percent and no-party voters 7

percent.
Republicans have primaries in
two county commission races and
the U.S. House of Representatives.
Democrats have no local primary

contests.
The ballot includes a two-Repub-
lican contest for state House Dis-
trict 43. Because there are no
Democrats in the race, all voters re-
gardless of party affiliation may
vote in the House race.
The same is true for a pair of
non-partisan races: circuit court
judge and school board.
Of the five early voting sites, Gill
said the Central Ridge Library in
Beverly Hills is the busiest. The
least busy site is the Floral City
Public Library, which is a new early
voting site this year, Gill said.
After the polls close at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, the first sets of votes that
her office will announce are absen-
tee and early voting, Gill said.
Gill said voters should remember
that Florida is a closed primary
state. Registered Democrats vote in
the Democratic primary and Re-
publicans vote in the Republican
primary, except in the state House
race and non-partisan races where
all registered voters may cast bal-
lots.

Man accused of stalking from jail

Report: He made death threats to woman

AMANDA MIMS
Chronicle

A domestic battery suspect re-
mained in jail Friday after being ac-
cused of stalking a 29-year-old
Hernando woman from inside the Cit-
rus County Detention Facility.
Justin Cole Wiley, 28, of Hernando,
reportedly made threatening tele-
phone calls to the woman, during
which he said he would kill her.
Wiley had been arrested for domes-
tic battery on Aug. 13, and on Sunday
the woman told authorities he had
been calling and threatening her,
starting the same day he was arrested.

Wiley had been court-
ordered not to contact
the woman following
S- his arrest.
During the tele-

Wiley manded that she bond
reportedly him out of jail. Wiley's

in jail. firmed he'd been
threatening the
woman.
"The defendant had called the vic-

tim and two other parties relating his
desire to beat the victim up and kill
her," according to the affidavit.
Wiley at first denied calling the vic-
tim and then admitted it. He main-
tains he did not threaten her, the
affidavit states.
Copies of the recorded calls were
turned into the sheriff's office as evi-
dence.
Other individuals acquainted with
Wiley told the sheriff's office he is
"dangerous and insane" but would not
get involved with the case.
Wiley faces charges of domestic bat-
tery, violation of pre-trial release con-
ditions and stalking. He is being held
on $10,000 bond and will have to wear
a GPS tracking device upon posting
bail.

revelations about Sterling's
Florida voting record and
homestead exemption give vot-
ers cause to raise their eye-
brows.
The revelation that Sterling
is registered to vote in both Cit-
rus County and Newaygo
County, Mich., was the first sur-
prising disclosure.
While dual voter registration
is unusual, it is not illegal. Un-
usual, however, is that Sterling
- despite declaring Inverness
as his primary residence since
1997 has never voted in Cit-
rus County. He has, nonethe-
less, voted in Newaygo County
at least three times since 1997
and was an unsuccessful can-
didate for the Michigan House
of Representatives in 2002 and
2004.

After residing in Citrus
County for more than a decade,
it seems unusual that Sterling's
first foray into our local elec-
toral process is as a candidate
rather than as a voter.
A second revelation that's
hard to ignore is the disclosure
that he has claimed a home-
stead exemption in Inverness
since 1997, as
well as Reed
SUE: City, Mich., since
i candidate 1994.
Sterling. An investiga-
tion by the Citrus
INION: County Property
Appraiser Office
is should confirmed that
eyebrows. Sterling had de-
clared home-
stead exemptions in both
Florida and Michigan. Accord-
ingly, Property Appraiser Geoff
Greene revoked Sterling's
Florida homestead exemption
and is continuing the investi-
gation.
Sterling's response that 10
years ago an unnamed prop-
erty appraiser employee told
him he could claim both home-
stead exemptions rings hollow.
The word "permanent" is un-
ambiguous. Further, every
Florida resident claiming a
homestead exemption must
verify each year that the home-
steaded property is his or her
permanent residence as of
Jan. 1.
For those county residents
who cast their ballots early, the
revelations will have no bear-
ing on their votes. However,
county residents who have yet
to cast their ballots should
carefully weigh these issues.

Charity query
Hooray for Kevin Nolan,
whose most informative article
appeared on Sunday re: the arbi-
trary change in the charity care
formula by the hospital trustees.
Everyone who has any interest
in this argument between the
Foundation and the Trustees
should read it thoroughly
Today I received my TRIM no-
tice, and I have a question:
Could I send my hospital tax di-
rectly to the CMHS foundation,
rather than pay it in my taxes?
That way, I could be sure that my
money (as small an amount as it
is) would be used directly for
charity care, and not to pay lawyers
and staff for the trustees to con-
tinue this ridiculous argument.
I have never minded paying
this tax, since I realize that we
have lots of uninsured residents
in Citrus County who come to the
hospital for medical care. How-
ever, I know that, in the past, all
the money that the county col-
lects was directed to the hospi-
tal. Now it seems like it's going
to pay for lawyers, several em-
ployees and endless paperwork.
This year, if I send my tax as-
sessment directly to the hospital
- would that get me in trouble

God, they would be just another

prayer is that the Lord will con-
tinue his touch on their lives
and their music ministry and
that God will use them to touch
others.
At 6 p.m. Sunday, the Daniels
will be singing their original
music, leading congregational
worship and presenting a mes-
sage from God's Word at a "signs
and wonders" service at First
Assembly of God Church, 4201 S.
Pleasant Grove Road, Inverness.
The Daniels currently have
eight CDs, including their
newest, "Touched Worship," and
the accompanying book for

"Touched Worship (What Every-
one in Worship Ministry Needs
to Know)."

Sale away
The Anchor Christian
Bookstore in Crystal River will
close its doors for the last time
on Tuesday, Aug. 31. The
store's closing is preceded by a
two-week going-out-of-busi-
ness sale with everything in
stock marked down 50 percent.
The bookstore opened in Au-
gust of 1998 as a privately
owned and nondenominational
bookstore and has served the
citizens and churches of Citrus
County for the past 12 years.
Declining sales and the number
of people now shopping online
are the reasons for the store's
closing. Owner Gary Bailey
would like to thank his many
faithful customers for their pa-
tronage through the years and
prays God's blessings on them
in the future. He is still available
for special orders and can be

Daniels said.
It's all about living by faith.
"We go to places and receive a
love offering and pray for a
lot of love!" he said.
In a recent interview at their
Sugarmill Woods home, the
Daniels talked about their cur-
rent passion, which is getting
the church to worship through
music and not just sing songs.
"We believe in God-centered
worship," Mrs. Daniels said. "A
lot of worship songs today talk
about the Lord, but that's not re-
ally the center of the song."
An example from their book
talks about the time they went to
a church and the worship leader
did a "cute song with a good
beat."
"Afterward, Kevin asked her,
'What does that song mean?' She

Saying

'sorry'

not so

hard

In 1958, Connie Francis
sang, "Who's Sorry
Now?" and later,
Brenda Lee, Bo Diddley,
The Platters and The Del-
fonics all sang, "I'm
Sorry"
In today's society, saying
"I'm sorry" is the new
"How are you?"
We've come to expect it
- demand it of our
fallen sports figures,
politicians and celebri-
ties, after which we, the
public and all the talking
heads on TV and radio,
dissect each apology to
judge whether we think
the apologizer is sincere
enough for our satisfac-
tion.
According to a recent
AARP report, since Feb-
ruary 2007, Web traffic on
Internet public confession
sites has increased 66 per-

Animals

in the

Bible
hey are our pets.
Cats, dogs, birds,
guinea pigs and ger-
bils. They are our com-
panions, confidants and
loyal friends. In the He-
brew Bible, however, ani-
mals have very different
roles.
In the ancient world,
animals provided food,
were a sign of wealth and
were used for sacrifices in
the sacrificial cult of the
Temples. Their skins and
hides were used for tents,
parchment for writing
and their horns for instru-
ments. They were beasts
of burden, plowed fields
and were hitched to carts.
And they were a means of
transportation. It is in the
scriptures that animals
take on different roles.
Basically we can define
the role of animals in the
Bible into four categories:
morality, wealth, sacrifice
and poetry
Animals are first men-
tioned in the story of cre-
ation with God, creating
the land animals toward
the end of the story, just
before humans. One could
interpret this as illustrat-
ing the purpose and order
of creation, starting from
the primitive to the more
complex humans. It was a
beautiful way of showing

is a list of their various projects:
See NOTES/Page C4

Sorry.com and PerfectApol-
ogy.com. At all three sites you
can post your apology (anony-
mously if you like). PerfectApol-
ogy will even help you with your
apology, whether it's a business
or medical apology or offer cre-
ative ideas to get you out of the
doghouse with a friend or family
member.
Supposedly there's a science
and an art to effective apologiz-
ing. The science is the formula
- the ingredients that, com-
bined under the right circum-
stances, will produce the
desired reaction (forgiveness).
The art is how you deliver the
apology.
Someone named Aaron
posted this apology to Melissa:
"I'm sorry I put red pepper
flakes in your goldfish bowl
when I was 7 and you were 5.
They looked like fish food only
reddish in color, and the fish
were reddish too, so I thought, in
my 7-year-old way, they would be
GOOD for the fish. I didn't know!
You may have long since for-
given me. You may have even
forgotten the incident. But it's
still on my mind."
In my opinion, that's a good
apology. Contrite. Sincere. He
acknowledged what he did was
wrong. On a scale of 1 to 10, with
10 being a perfect apology, I'd
give it an 8.
I'd rate this one a 2: "Sorry I
called you a lazy slob, a druggie
and a thief. You are you are
ALL those things, but I shouldn't
have said it."
Here's one from "D" to
"Mom": "You said you wanted a
public apology You said you
wanted me to say I'm sorry Well,
I am sorry.. sorta. I'm sorry I got
caught. But I'm not sorry I did it.
I'm old enough! Even though I'm
still in high school, I'm 18 now. I
think sometimes YOU lose sight
of that fact. In fact, I think you
owe ME an apology. Next time
don't be such a snoop and you
won't find out things you aren't
happy to know about me. My

diary is PRIVATE. Your turn to
apologize."
I give that one a minus 4 or 5.
I've made similar apologies to
my own mother and have since
re-apologized. I remember one
time when we were in the gro-
cery store. I was married with
kids of my own, and as we got to
the frozen vegetable case, right
in front of the frozen peas, I
looked at my mom and blurted
out, "Mom, I am so sorry for
everything I've ever done!"
I meant it, too.
I knew and still know what it
is to be sorry I got caught. But to
be sorry to have done something
because it's wrong or hurtful to
another person and ultimately
wrong before God I think of as a
gift. First, it's a gift of God's
grace to us to be able to see our
wrongdoing and own it, and then
it's a gift we offer other people.
At ImSorry.com, someone
wrote, "'Love means never hav-
ing to say you're sorry' is a really
bad line to live by Apologies are
necessary in every relationship.
Apologies are the building
blocks of relationships. If a fam-
ily has any hope of staying to-
gether, there will be frequent
and sincere apologies."
Jesus said if you're about to
offer a gift at the altar and re-
member someone has some-
thing against you, leave your gift,
go apologize, then come back
(Matthew 5:23-24).
Humbling yourself to say I'm
sorry is the mark of a strong per-
son, not a weak one. So is ac-
cepting an apology and offering
forgiveness. Gandhi said it's the
weak who cannot or will not for-
give and that "forgiveness is the
attribute of the strong."
Who has something against
you?
Who's sorry now?

of how God had provided for the hu-
mans s/he had created. Enter the
Snake. Long the symbol of mystery and
evil, he persuades the humans to dis-
obey God and eat the forbidden fruit.
Thus we have the serpent as part of a
morality story
In the Binding of Isaac, we have an-
other morality tale. In this story, God
instructs Abraham to offer up his son
Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham complies,
but at the last moment, an angel stays
Abraham's hand from slaying his son
and the lesson that the deity does not
want human sacrifice is conveyed.
In another famous story, an ass
makes a person of himself. Actually, it
is a talking donkey that has an impor-
tant message for a soothsayer named
Balaam, who was about to put a curse
on the Israelites camped in the valley
below. This smart beast instructs Bal-
aam not to curse the Israelites because
that is God's will, and Balaam's curse
becomes a blessing which forms the
beautiful opening prayer used in syna-
gogues all over the world, entitled "Ma
Tovu".
Noah, the man and his family who
were saved from a big deluge, offers us
a lesson in terms of animals as symbols
of morality To check for dry land after
the Flood, Noah sends out a dove who
returns with an olive branch in her
mouth. This beautiful image is a lasting
symbol of hope and peace, universally
accepted throughout the world.
Perhaps one of the most famous ani-
mals in the Bible was not real at all but
a statue. The Golden Calf has stood as a
symbol of lack of faith and idolatry for
centuries. In the story, the Israelites,
fearful that Moses will not return from
his sojourn on Mt Sinai, build a golden
calf to worship. When Moses returns
and sees the people dancing around
the calf in a joyous orgy, he angrily
throws down the tablets of the Law and
breaks them. So repentant are Jews of
this shameful act of worshipping a
statue that to this day no gold orna-
ments are used to decorate the Torah.
Animals were signs of wealth in an-
cient times. How many goats, sheep or
camels one had indicated one's status
in the tribe. Abraham is described in
the Bible as a sheik of wealth, much
stock, i.e. not a portfolio but one based

on animals. When one wanted to marry
a woman, gifts of animals were often
exchanged as part of the deal. The
world of the Patriarchs was one of
herds and grazing lands. The more one
had, the wealthier one was.
Animals in the ancient world were
used as sacrificial items. The Temple
Cult has a whole laundry list of condi-
tions and rules for animal sacrifice as
set down in the Book of Leviticus. Of
most interest is the Red Heifer, an un-
blemished cow, needed for a special
sacrifice for the End of Days or Coming
of the Messiah. Along with this, we have
the rules of kashrut, keeping kosher,
permitted foods and those which are
not allowed. While both these practices
have been interpreted in many ways, it
is the keeping kosher that still contin-
ues today Animal sacrifices stopped, of
course, when the second Temple was
destroyed.
Some of the most expressive poetry
in the Hebrew Bible uses animals for
metaphors. The sons of Jacob, who be-
came the Twelve Tribes of Israel, had
animal descriptions. Some of these are:
Benjamin, the ravenous wolf, Issachar,
the strong-boned ass, Judah, the lion,
the tribe of kings, Joseph, the wild ass,
and Naftali, the deer.
In the Book of Psalms and in Isaiah,
we have two beautiful expressions of
peace. In Psalms, there is the comfort-
ing "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall
not lack for anything." David, writer of
this psalm, was a shepherd and he uses
the metaphor of a shepherd to symbol-
ize God, a loving caretaker of his/her
flock who comforts and provides. (He
leads us to still waters sheep only
drink from still waters.) It is this peace-
ful, pastoral scene that has comforted
many in times of grief and turmoil.
Lastly, in Isaiah there is the passage
about the lion lying down with a lamb.
In the End of Days, in a more peaceful
time, the world will be at peace. Ani-
mals that are natural enemies will
dwell together in harmony with no fear.
The world will be at peace and all the
nations will follow laws of basic moral-
ity And while we learn about animals
in the Bible, may we protect the ones
we have here on earth in order to build
a more peaceful world.

Worship songs need to be
based on the Word," Mrs.
Daniels said.
"The songs you choose for
worship need to be easy
enough for the people to sing,

Her husband said in many
churches the "worship wars"
divide the congregation into
factions. Older people tend to
like the old-fashioned hymns
and younger people like the
drums and guitars. He be-
lieves worship leaders can
mesh the two, putting a mod-
em spin on old hymns or ton-

songs.

In their book they describe
worship as a tool and a

ship. I believe the Daniels
have that purpose in mind be-
cause they realize it's not
about them, but about
God, and if that gets out of bal-
ance the anointing will be
missing."
She went on to say that she
loves to play and sing when
the anointing of God is pres-
ent. "Even though the words
of songs that are inspired of
God are anointed, there is a
big difference when the singer
is also anointed to sing them,"
she said. "While you may not
be able to put it into words,
you know when you're minis-
tering under the anointing,
and so will the audience."
The Daniels said they hope
their time at the Inverness
church will be extended.

type meetings on Sunday

some, speak some, pray for

You might not be able to play golf,
work, or even sit in the car for a 30-
minute drive. It's almost impossible for
anyone around you to understand how
you feel. You can't remember the last
time you even had a restful night's
sleep.

You may have a condition called
"Sciatica" if you're suffering from any
of these annoying conditions. Sciatica is
a compression of the sciatic nerve,
usually by an L4 or L5 disc herniations.

Nothing's worse than feeling great
mentally, but physically feeling held
back from life because your back or
sciatica hurts and the pain just won't go
away!

Do You Have Any
of the Following?
D Sharp pains in the back of the leg
D Lower Back Pain
D Herniated/bulging discs
D Numbness or soreness in
your legs
D Shooting hip or thigh pain
D Muscle spasm, sprains & strains

Fortunately, if you are suffering from
any of these problems, they may be
relieved or eliminated with chiropractic
adjustments.

"What's The Chance
This Will Work For Me?"

Chiropractic has been around for over a
hundred years, and has been used to
help everyone from tiny babies to the
elderly.

These professional athletes have the
money to hire any kind of doctors they
want, yet they choose to have a
chiropractor on their team.

Here's what some of the top medical
researchers had to say about
chiropractic . .

"Manipulation [chiropractic
adjustments], with or without exercise,
improved symptoms more than medical
care did after both 3 and 12 months."-
British Medical Journal

"Chiropractor's manipulation of the
spine was more helpful than any of the
following: traction, massage,
biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of
steroids into the spine and back corsets,
and ultrasound." Stanley Bigos, MD,
Professor of Orthopedic Surgery

This means in just a matter of weeks
you could be back on the golf course,
enjoying your love life, or traveling
again.

Feel the Improvement and
Say "Yes" to Life Again

With my "Back Pain And Sciatica
Evaluation" we'll be able find the
problem and then correct it.

Think of how you'll feel in just a few
short weeks.

See and feel your life change for the
better. Start your body on the way to
pain-free, normal living. Feel tight
joints rest, relax, free up. Feel muscles
tied in knots become more supple. Feel
strength in your muscles increase.

As you begin to see motion returning to
your joints, you're preventing and
reducing chances of disability and a
crippling future.

The Single Most Important Solution
To Your Sciatica and Back Pain

It's time for you to find out if
chiropractic will be your sciatic
and back pain solution.

For 10 days only, $49 will get you all
the services I normally charge new
patients $150 for!

What does this offer include?
Everything I normally do in my new
patient evaluation.

D An in-depth consultation about your
health and well-being where I will listen
"really listen" to the details of your
case.

D A complete neuromuscular
examination.

D A thorough analysis of your exam
and x-ray findings (if necessary) so we
can start mapping out your plan to being
pain free.

D I'll provide answers to your
questions,
like ...

. . the best nutritional supplements
proven to help with joint problems.

. . which position, mattress, and pillow
you should use for a good night's rest.

. . the foods that can help you and
which ones can make you worse.

. . how to exercise the right way so you
aren't making your pain worse.

Don't Let Your Sciatica Get Worse

Tim Mick, DC, an associate professor
and chair of the Department of
Radiology at Northwestern Health
Sciences University says .. .

"Untreated, sciatica can lead to a loss
of muscle strength and muscle size
that may be irreversible. Eventually,
there can be problems with gait."

Sciatica can be successfully treated. You
can recover. Healthy, pain-free living
should be yours.

Call today and we can get started with
your consultation and exam as soon as
there's an opening in the schedule.

Our office is called 7 Rivers
Chiropractic Center and you can find us
at 927 N. Citrus Ave., Crystal River
(across from the Citrus Diagnostic
Center MRI Center).

Tell the receptionist you'd like to come
in for the Back Pain And Sciatica
Evaluation before September 2nd, 2010

I look forward to helping you get rid of
your pain so you can start living a
healthier, more joyful life.

Sincerely,
Dr. David Kreinbrook, D.C.

P.S. You've got too many dreams left
undone. Too many special moments
waiting to be experienced. Life is too
short to let pain slow you down.

Don't live another day like this. Call
and schedule for your evaluation.

Stay cool; protect your brain

ere's a revelation
for you: Summers
are hot in Florida! I
really think the heat must
do damage to certain peo-
ple and their decision-
making process. Maybe
there are those who are
just more susceptible than
others. See below.
The following stories are
not made up. They prove
that the heat in all parts of
the country must have an
effect on brains
that seem to be
already strug-
gling to func-
tion. Add a full
moon here and
there, and the
police depart-
ments will tell
you we have a
"perfect storm"
of incredibly Mary.
dumb crooks. Tilln
Examples: LET'S
Police in Oak-
land, Calif.,
spent two hours attempting
to subdue a gunman who
had barricaded himself in-
side his home. After firing
10 tear gas canisters, offi-
cers discovered that the
man was standing beside
them, shouting to please
come out and give himself
up!
AT&T fired its president,
John Walter, after nine
months, saying he lacked
"intellectual leadership."
He received a $26 million
severance package. Per-
haps it's not Walter who is

n
I7

lacking intelligence?
Fire investigators on
Maui (another hot place)
have determined the cause
of a blaze that destroyed a
$127,000 home last month.
A short in the homeowner's
newly installed fire-pre-
vention alarm system.
"This is even worse than
last year," said the dis-
traught homeowner, "when
someone broke in and stole
my new security system!"
A man walked
into a Topeka,
Kan., conven-
ience store and
asked for all the
money in the cash
drawer. Appar-
ently, the take
was too small, so
he tied up the
store clerk and
Alice worked the
Ian counter himself
TALK for three hours
before the police
showed up and
grabbed him!
In Medford, Ore., (not
generally considered a hot
place, but could be that
anything above 60 degrees
sends those people into a
tailspin) a 27-year-old job-
less man with an MBA
blamed his college degree
for his murder of three
people.
"There are too many
business grads out there,"
he said. "If I had chosen
another field, all of this
may not have happened!"
Wonder how long the judge

pondered that excuse?
One more: Police in Los
Angeles (generally consid-
ered a hotbed of something
that totally destroys brain
cells) had good luck with a
robbery suspect who just
couldn't control himself
during a lineup. When de-
tectives asked each man in
the lineup to repeat the
words, "Give me all your
money or I'll shoot," the
man shouted, "That's not
what I said!"
These are important
news stories that you just
don't read every day I feel
it is my duty to let you know
what can happen if you let
your brain get overheated.
If you ever want to enjoy
a morning's worth of enter-
tainment, just pick any
boat ramp and watch peo-
ple launch their boats.
Even better, come back
that afternoon and watch
them load them back up.
You will notice that even
the attitudes change, espe-
cially with couples. In the
morning, the husband
might say something like,
"Honey, would you hand
me that line over there?"
By the time they spend a
hot day on the Gulf, you
might hear something like,
"Dang it! I didn't want that
line! Hand me the other
line! Just get in the truck!"
See what I mean? It's all
tied to the sun's rays or
something, because no one
in his right mind would
speak to his wife that way

and expect to live to fish
another day
Let's all try to keep our
brains cool and comfort-
able, lest we wind up on
the front pages of a news-
paper somewhere wonder-
ing what in the world
happened to us. There are
aliens among us, you know.
And not those "out-of-this-
world" kinds.
Wait a minute; it couldn't
be the heat, could it? Oth-
erwise, well, as much heat
as we are subjected to, we
might suffer from some
kind of brain dysfunction
and we all know that isn't
happening to us, right?
Anyway, just keep laugh-
ing because "laughter is
the best medicine!"

Veterans sought for classroom program in local schools

The Veterans Appreciation Week Ad Hoc Co-
ordinating Committee will conduct its annual Vet-
erans in the Classroom program, Nov. 1 through
12, as part of its 18th Annual Veterans Apprecia-
tion Week activities.
Coordinated by the Citrus County Chapter of
the Military Officers Association of America
(MOAA), the Veterans in the Classroom program
brings living history to the classrooms of the
county's public and private schools, as well as
home-school groups.
Veterans share with students their firsthand
military experiences and travels while serving

our country in uniform around the world in peace
and war.
The model Veterans in the Classroom pro-
gram was recognized in 2008 with a Florida Ed-
ucation Foundation award. The program's
success has generated the need for additional
veterans to share their experiences with stu-
dents. Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Iraq, Air Force,
National Guard and women veterans are espe-
cially needed as participants.
All interested veterans are encouraged to con-
tact Gary Runyon at 563-5727, Mac McLeod at
746-1384 or Bob Truax at 860-1630.

others may not have
thought to ask. And, pa-
tients experience a higher
level of camaraderie when
they go through the process
together.
"We have had as many as
seven patients at a time at-
tend a class," said Botes.
"Our camp facilitators are
so friendly and really enjoy
helping patients learn the
ropes of rehab and recov-
ery after knee and hip sur-
gery"
Glen Goldsmith is a li-
censed physical therapy as-
sistant and Martin Parrish
is a rehab technician. Both
feel it is extremely impor-
tant to educate patients be-
fore they arrive at the
hospital for surgery
Seven Rivers Regional
affiliated orthopedic physi-
cians Walter I. Choung,
M.D., Andrew J. Petrella,
M.D., and Dee K. White,

D.O., perform knee and hip
replacements on a regular
basis at the hospital. They
encourage all patients
scheduled for surgery to at-
tend the free Ortho Camp
and can make an appoint-
ment for patients from
their office.
In addition to Ortho
Camp, the hospital offers a
free program open to the
public. Named "Good
News About Knee & Hip
Pain," the program pro-
vides helpful information
to individuals who have
knee or hip pain, stiffness
or swelling
A physical therapist and
an occupational therapist
team together to provide
in-depth details on the
anatomy of the knee and
hip, causes of pain and
treatment options (ranging
from home remedies to
total joint replacement).
The "good news" is many
of these treatments allow
individuals to move easily

and without pain once
again.
The program also in-
cludes a question and an-
swer session, as well as the
opportunity to learn about
the hospital's affiliated or-
thopedic physicians and
schedule an appointment
with one of them.
"Good News About Knee
& Hip Pain" will begin
Sept. 15.
The program will then be
offered at 1 p.m. on the
third Wednesday of each

month in the Medical Of-
fices Building Community
Room at Seven Rivers Re-
gional.

Sew what?

CITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE

Avid volunteer

keeps many

folks in stitches

he joke
among
people who
know Jan Squires
is this: Don't look
her in the eye.

As soon as you do she'll
have you volunteering for
something.
Winsome and energetic,
she has a way of presenting
a need so that when she's
done talking you're looking
for the nearest sign-up sheet
And don't let her hear
that you're bored. She'll tell
you, "Honey, if you're bored
in Citrus County, there's
something wrong. There's
so much to do here; there's
such a need."
Although much of her
own volunteering involves
one of her many sewing ma-
chines she was recently
appointed the regional rep-
resentative for the Ameri-
can Sewing Guild, which
covers the entire eastern
U.S. it began years before
when she was a young mili-
tary wife married to a Navy
man.
In 1971, Squires was
named both Navy Wife of
the Year and Worldwide
Military Wife of the Year.
"That was during the time
of the Vietnam War, which
wasn't a very popular war,"
she said. "They were look-
ing for wives who were
doing things to bring the
military community and the
civilian community together
as one."
She and her husband,
Jim, had gone to Lansing,
Mich., her hometown.

MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle
Beverly Hills resident Jan Squires sews a number of different
garments, but says her charity work is most special to her.
Purses and dolls for those in need are just two of the items
that comprise the special work.

"When I was in Lansing, I
got very involved in the
community," she said. "One
thing I did, because Jim
went to Vietnam, was to or-
ganize a military wives club.
We met at the Red Cross
building. They were sympa-
thetic to us not everyone
was."
One of the projects
Squires organized was a
cleanup of the Grand River
banks.
"They were a mess," she
said. "The Grand River is
the main artery that goes
into Lake Michigan, and we
had people living under
bridges and dumping cars
and old appliances along

the river banks. It was a
total disaster
"So, we got everybody in-
volved and called it 'Give
the Grand A Hand,"' she
said.
For that and many other
projects uniting the military
and local civilian communi-
ties, Squires was nominated
for Navy Wife of the Year by
the mayor of Lansing.
She didn't find out about
it until after her husband
had returned from Vietnam
and was transferred to Den-
ver, Colo. She had started
working for the Army
CHAMPUS program and

was on the job two days
when she got a call from the
Navy department's chief of
information telling her the
story of her award was com-
ing out in the Stars and
Stripes that weekend and
they needed all her infor-
mation.
"I was so surprised," she
said.
Being named Navy Wife
of the Year put her in the
running for Worldwide Mil-
itary Wife of the Year. She
and her husband were in-
vited to Washington, D.C.,
for a whirlwind five days of
meeting with a panel of
judges.
"There were five of us,
one from each branch of the
military, including the Coast
Guard," she said. "The best
part about winning was get-
ting to meet and travel with
Art Linkletter for 18
months. I heard from him
every year after that."
In between raising a fam-
ily plus moving around as a
military wife, Squires oper-
ated several businesses. For
27 years she owned Squires
School Equipment, selling
Blue Bird school buses,
portable classrooms and
bleachers.
She also had a restaurant
and a theater in Eaton
Rapids, Mich., and she vol-
unteered in a variety of
places, from church to local
hospitals and civic organi-
zations.
"Volunteering I think I
was destined to be a volun-
teer because no matter how
busy I've been I've always
been able to 'see beyond the
end of the pencil' and see a
need," she said.
MEm
Then she learned to sew.
When you first enter
Squires' Beverly Hills
home, you know right away
that a seamstress lives
there. And if there's even a
shred of doubt, just look in
her spare room.
That's where she keeps
her stash fabric and trim,
patterns and spare sewing
machines.
On her dining room table
sits a serging machine, a
quilting machine and an

embroidery machine. The
room behind the dining
room is the actual sewing
room, with even more ma-
chines and projects in
progress.
The only thing that's miss-
ing is an old black Singer
sewing machine from the
1930s or '40s.
"I've only been sewing for
10 years," she said. "When I
had my business I didn't
have time to think about
sewing. I didn't get a sewing
machine until I retired."
Ten years ago she and her
husband had moved from
Eaton Rapids, Mich., to Bev-
erly Hills and a friend in-
vited Squires to go to a
sewing class atA-White Sew
& Vac in Crystal River to
make a purse.
"So, I borrowed a sewing
machine and went over to
A-White and made a purse,"
she said. "When I left I'd
bought a new machine and
got totally addicted to what I
could do."
Ten years later, she

makes quilts, all her own
clothes (including bras),
purses, belts if it can be
done on a sewing machine,
she can do it, and many
things she's certified to
teach.
"I don't sleep," she said.
"I'm blessed. When I wake
up at 4 in the morning I'm
on a machine or cutting out
something."
At age 71, she said the key
to staying young and nimble
is remaining active and
busy and using your skills to
bless others.
"My biggest concern now
is the number of homeless
children in Citrus County,"
she said. "For the last two
years we've (local members
of the American Sewing
Guild) made cloth dolls for
them.
"Kids need a doll," she
said. "This year we're mak-
ing dolls for 3-year-olds."
She and other guild mem-
bers work closely with Gin-
ger West at the Family
Resource Center, as well as

HPH Hospice and Habitat
for Humanity.
For every new Habitat
home, they provide new
homeowners with place-
mats, a valance over the
kitchen door, pillowcases,
an apron, potholders and
embroidered towels.
When they first started,
Habitat was building two or
three houses a year; now
they do as many as 12.
"It's a lot of work, but we
do it as a sew-in, and it's the
best therapy," she said. "It's
not cheap therapy, though.
We just don't tell our hus-
bands."
The guild also makes and
donates "bog" jackets, "bur-
rito" pillowcases, fleece
"Snuggie"-type sleeved
blankets and "Vera
Bradley"-like quilted
purses.
They made and shipped
200 pillowcases to the Navy
ship Comfort after the
earthquake in Haiti, also
200 bras and pairs of
women's panties for women
and girl patients aboard the
ship.

What's more surprising is
that Ernestine didn't tell

sured them that our seniors
are innocent and wouldn't
do anything as stupid as
that.
The crowd at Friday

Remember to sign up for

list of what you can bring is

Squires said she keeps a
favorite Bible verse handy:
"With her own hands she
gladly makes clothes"
(Proverbs 32:13).
"I'm so grateful that I'm
able to do for others, espe-
cially these kids who have
so little," she said. "I get ex-
cited to think what these
kids will think when, at

ribs that occurred when
someone kicked the cat
away from the wire. We un-
derstand that the lawsuit is
still pending.
We've received many re-
quests to speed up bingo
due to some of us having
short attention.. ah, forget it
The welcome home party
for the returning snowbirds
has been canceled because
some of the people attend-
ing the going-away party last
spring are still partying and
have never left Fortunately,
the drunk tank has been up-
dated to handicap accessi-
ble, thus complying with
federal laws.
We heard from manage-
ment that our annual park
yard sale will be reinstated
as soon as one of the lawn-
mowers is returned. Suspi-
cions were raised when one
of our seniors claimed he
paid to have his golf cart
customized to resemble a
lawnmower minus the mow-

ing deck.
Management re-issued a
warning that the handicap
ramps are not to be used for
wheelchair races. You know
who you are. We caution the
participants that manage-
ment may use this as an ex-
cuse for raising the rent
again to supplement the cost
of liability insurance.
The request that horse-
shoes be combined with
shuffleboard has been de-
nied by management. Al-
though the individual who
made the request did so on
his own, management would
like a liaison committee be
formed to prevent future sit-
uations like this.
This might be the first
time management requests
that a seniors' retirement
park form a homeowners as-
sociation. The reasoning be-
hind their requests is that
they'd rather meet with a
group as a whole than one
individual. It is obvious that
they have no idea what sen-

ior citizens are capable of.
More on this at our Friday
morning coffee.
Until next time, take your
meds, stay healthy and re-
member to keep a bottle of
calamine lotion and mos-
quito repellent in your golf
carts.

as rigorous background checks
and in-home inspections.

Some retirement communities charge tens of thousands
of dollars in "entrance" fees plus "maintenance" fees that
cost thousands more every month. But not The Village.
The Village is a rental retirement community, so we never
charge large up-front entry fees or lock you into a lifetime
commitment and you still get world-class amenities,
a variety of spacious floor plans and an outstanding
calendar of activities.

utilities including cable TV
housekeeping
flexible dining plan for use in any of The Village's three
